Card Model

These images are the first stage of my life size scale cardboard model, the angle is 70 degrees. 

The aim of creating this model is for me to text if the height and size is right.  

The next stage of my model is to add on the sides. This was difficult because I was using cardboard which bends easily to replicate 3cm thick wood, the model got a bit miss-shaped through out the process but I still got an accurate height which was my goal.

This images show that an A2 sized piece of card does indeed fit on my stand however (accidentally labeled it as A3) I was worried that any loose pieces of A2 paper placed on the stand would fall through the gap (the non colored in area)  so I decided to do an experiment to test this.

First of all I cut out the spare card in the piddle of my sides so that I only had the edges, I then cut out the other side so that it was 10 cm less wide and tall and tried to place a vertical piece of A3 on the stand to see if it would stay in place.

As you can see the larger side failed.  Prompting me to slightly change the measurements of my design, I am glad to note that the height was correct.
